"Do you dare to leave me here?" The girl in front of him was not afraid of his threat at all. She simply looked around the surroundings and continued to order people. "Send me back quickly. Wan Shi has arranged bodyguards around. I go out for a walk every day. If they find out that I'm missing, they will definitely look for me. When they find out that you brought me here, it will be fun."
Yi Ke seemed to have thought of something interesting. She licked her lips and smiled happily. "Do you think it's better for you to abduct me or kidnap me?"
"Warning, the host must not do anything harmful to the protagonist." The mechanical voice that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Yi Ke's mind.
Yi Ke sighed without batting an eyelid. This 'Will of the World' was really protecting the male protagonist. She couldn't even deceive or threaten him?
As if sensing Yi Ke's thoughts, the voice that had been repeating itself in her head suddenly disappeared. Yi Ke realized that the thing seemed to be unable to tell what was a joke when it came to major choices. It would have to wait for her to explain before it could understand.
Yu Heng looked at Yi Ke. He really didn't understand what kind of living environment could nurture someone to have such a fearless personality.
Yi Ke seemed to be a crystal that had not been tainted by the secular world. She retained her natural squeamishness. If she was just like this, it would be inevitable for people to hate her. However, Yi Ke still had a child-like innocence. She was not guarded against anyone. Her likes and dislikes were clearly written on her face.
Yu Heng felt that he had never liked Yi Ke, but most of the time, he had to admit that Yi Ke was really cute. "I'll bring you back, but there are some things we need to talk about."
"Ah?" Yi Ke came back to her senses and looked at Yu Heng, who had suddenly sat down, in a daze.
What were they talking about? Did they have anything in common to talk about?
"You've figured out my family's situation during this period of time. You're the eldest daughter of the city. You've never had to worry about food and clothing since you were young. You don't have to worry about anything. But I'm different. I have to support my family. My father is paralyzed in bed and doesn't have any labor force. My mother was seriously ill previously and needs to take medicine. The medical fees every year are more than a thousand yuan. Xiangxiang and Little Yu still have to go to school. They'll be in junior high school next year. Although it only costs books, it's not a small expense for my family."
Yi Ke could roughly guess what Yu Heng wanted to say. She was about to say something when Yu Heng stopped her.
"Let me finish. These expenses add up to about 2,000 yuan. I have to work in the fields every day and earn at most 10,000 yuan a year. For this 10,000 yuan, I want to buy seeds for next year's farming. I want to feed our family of five and save some for emergencies." Yu Heng had never told anyone how hard it was for him, but today, he suddenly changed the topic.
He was just a teenager who had just turned 18. He had to take care of his sick parents and ignorant siblings. He was unwilling to say much to the villagers around him. Otherwise, the misfortune in his family would become a topic of conversation for others. He was even more unwilling to say anything about his family. He was afraid that his parents would think that they were a burden and that his younger siblings would become semi-illiterate if they were unwilling to go to school.
Therefore, he had always been holding it in silently. Now that he finally had a foreign young lady, Yu Heng suddenly began to confide in her for some reason.
It was probably because they didn't know each other. It wouldn't be long before they became strangers, Yu Heng thought.
"That's why I hope that you won't keep playing with Xiangxiang. I'm not afraid that you'll lead her astray. I just feel that we're from two different worlds. If you leave after a while, we might just be passersby to you. But to Xiangxiang, you're an older sister who has seen the world. She'll subconsciously believe you."
Yi Ke stopped talking. Yu Heng was right. To her, Yu Xiang was just a playmate of hers during this period of time. But what would happen after she left?
Yi Ke lowered her head and said in a low voice after a long time, "I'm sorry. I didn't think too much at that time. I just didn't want you to have too much contact with Yishi."
Seeing her like this, Yu Heng couldn't say anything harsh. He stood up and looked into Yi Ke's eyes. "I don't know what grudges you have with Yi Shi, but I can tell you that I don't have any romantic feelings for her, and I have no intention of marrying her."
Yi Ke looked at Yu Heng's serious expression and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. However, Yi Ke quickly reacted and turned her head away from Yu Heng's eyes. "Who cares about your relationship with Yi Shi?"
